Greetings, Last week's search took me as far south as Savannah and as far north as New Hampshire, hoping always for more great discoveries for you. Above is a well detailed English 19th century watercolor of " The Pallas, a Frigate of 42 Guns Riding in the Downs on the King's Birthday." The colors are vivid and fresh in this calm view of this celebration as the three ships fly the colors. The original birdseye frame and silver gilt liner are intact with the old pine backboards and label from the framer. Original wavy glass. Overall size is 24 1/2" by 30". Shown with some reflections in the glass. Otherwise, with minor losses and a minor tear to one side. Available here at this moment of publication at $1195. Below, please enjoy viewing our American mahogany Sheraton sofa circa 1810, now in a fine damask and ready for your acquisition. The serpentine arms drop to a scrolled handhold above a slender reeded support on an octagonal block on reeded tapered legs. the swellfront holds four legs. Original brass castors. L. 76", d. 28", h. 35 1/2". $3200.

Yoke handles are to each side for carrying. H. 27", w. 21", d. 16 1/4". $2200.
